Disney’s support of the Don’t Say Gay shit is reprehensible to begin with but I think it’s a little strange that the solution proposed by some people is to yell at Disney until they say they support LGBT people and not question why the funny cartoon company can dictate human rights

Disney has so much investment in China that this is never going to happen.

China has nothing to do with a Florida-based company funding Florida lawmakers in creating a Floridian bill to appeal to homophobic Floridians in Florida that will be surely used as a template for other home-grown homophobes in other states in the United States of America. Disney is not a poor underdog being stepped on by the boot of a scary foreign shadow government, they are a monopolistic monstrosity that’s been contributing to awful practices and abuses throughout its entire near-century of existence. 

Hozier singing trad song “The Parting Glass”

My audio processing isnt working in the brain. Can someone PLEASE tell me what the crud he’s saying because all i can make out are sounds not words

when i first read the lyrics to this a year or so ago, i always thought it was a sad song (contrary to what google says about it being a pub song), and hearing this solemn and heartfelt rendition by hozier always makes me tear up

Google’s technically right, it is a pub song, but not in the sense you’re thinking. This is what I call an “end of the night” song - these tend to be somber, nostalgic, and contain references to a final drink/toast eg “the parting glass” usually either in memory of death, or in the knowledge of death to come. Others include Auld Lang Syne and Health to the Company. They’re “let’s drink to old times because we might not all meet here again” songs.
